At the start of each school year, everyone who volunteers in any capacity at Horn must register as described below.

1. If you do not already have a VIPS account, go to the VISITS web site (http://amun.houstonisd.org/visits/en-us/login.aspx) and set up a username and password.
   
   Important Note: Be sure to enter YES in the disclaimer box. Otherwise, the school office will not be able to initiate your background check.
   
   
2. Fill out an HISD background check form (view Volunteer Access to Police Records). Note: The correct spelling of our principal's name is Sarah Harrington.
   
   
3. Make a copy of your driver's license.
   
   
4. Take your completed background check form and the copy of your driver's license to the school office.
   
   
5. Check your VIPS account again in a week or two. Once HISD completes your background check, your account will be unlocked, and you may enter your hours.

As you volunteer on campus or at home, record your hours in VISITS and watch those hours grow! Note that VISITS only captures your volunteer hours for the day that you log in. To record volunteer hours for a previous or different day, send email to Christine Agnew as described below.

Send email to Christine Agnew (vips@hornpto.org) listing your name, date of volunteer activity, activity description, and hours in quarter-hour increments. You can include multiple volunteer instances. Just begin each instance with a new line in your email message.
